I used to be a reactionary and hated Jewish people because I believed antisemitic conspiracies about them. Now I've been reeducated and consider them comrades but I hate Israel for obvious reasons. (hexbear.net)

For the country being a white supremacist settler-colonist state that's doing a slow (now fast) genocide on Palestinians. It's nice to be on the correct side for once, as I used to believe that Israel controlled the USA and not vice-versa, I've learned so much more about the world thanks to leftism. Being a reactionary I was seriously ignorant and in the dark, fueled by dumb ass racist thoughts and a baby's understanding of the world.

People are capable of growth, change, and realizing their full potential. If we ignore this fact then we might as well abandon the communist dream. Personal cynicism and antisocial thinking must be conquered as much as external power structures. Ignorance can be a convenient cover for reactionary thought, but they are not the same. If Mao had written off every ignorant rural farmer as hopeless the revolution in China would have failed. The terror of the revolution is for the powerful who steer the ship, not the masses huddled trying to simply survive.
